Bixby Canyon Bridge Death Cab For Cutie Narrow Stairs This is meant to be an acoustic rendition of the song. The Bass line obviously does a amount of "walking" but the root chords are good enough for playing on acoustic. [Verse A] I descended a dusty gravel ridge Beneath the Bixby Canyon Bridge Until I eventually arrived At the place where your soul had died [Verse B] Barefoot in the shallow creek I grab some stones from underneath Waiting for you to speak to me [Verse A] In the silence it became so very clear That you had long ago disappeared And I curse myself for being surprised That this didn’t play out like it did in my mind [Verse B] All the way from San Francisco As I chase the end of your rope ’Cause I’ve still got miles to go [Verse C] I want to know my fate If I keep up this way Its hard to want to stay Aw - a - y Then everyone you meet Will all seem to be asleep And you wonder if you’re missing your dream You can’t see your dream You can’t see your dream Just can’t see your dream [Chorus] Your dr - e - am......... |------------| G|------------| (Repeat x12 last 4 w/o lyrics) D|-----4-------5-(slide)-10-(hold)--| |------------| |------------| For the next 7 progressions alternate between these two Riffs [Riff A] |------------| |------------5b6b5-5b6b6--| D|-----4-------5------10------5------------| |------------| |------------| [Riff B] |------------| |------------5b6b5-5b6-3--| D|-----4-------5------10------5------------| |------------| |------------| bend) B|------------5b6b5-(Repeat bend x7)-| D|-----4-------5------10------5------------| |------------| |------------| [Outro] Then is started getting dark And I trudged back to where the car was parked No closer to any kind of truth Am (rest) As I must assume was the case with you ************************************ | b Bend | ~ Vibrato ************************************
